I ordered 10/3 (SA Build) - production completed 10/12
I sat in "Released to carrier awaiting transportation to the port of exit" for two weeks
11/1 - switched to "at the port awaiting a shipping vessel"

I better get on a boat soon - I want my extra $1k off dammitz

You guys make me super worried
I put in order 11/1
Still hasn't been put in production yet
Do you think I will get it by 1/2/2013 for extra $1k off?

As of today my status is being transported to port of exit. My car is an SA build so I guess I am out of luck as I read the ship going to Germany leaves today. Next ship leaves sometime in December. Can anyone confirm if there really is other transport companies. I would think that since there is now more prodcution in SA that they would have more transport dates than the ones mentioned in one post.

i'm in the same boat as you..really hoping there is another ship as mine is scheduled to finish production next week....would really like to have it by year's end.....my CA today still said that she expected it by the end of the year.

im in the same boat too (pun intended)
I've written off the possibility of getting the car before the end of the year

It appears there will be quite a bit of holiday excitement here. It always eases the pain of the wait to talk to others waiting also. I have been to busy to call the dealership this week to inquire about a couple of things relating to the $1000 holiday credit. Tommorrow I will contact my CA to clarify as to if we are locked into both the holiday and loyalty credit even if the car does not arrive until after January 2nd. It is my impression that we are but I am not positive. However, even if you can't lock into the credit I am pretty sure that if you are willing to go ahead and finalize the purchase of the car before the incentive date ends and sign all the papers you still get it. The only disadvantage is the inservice date starts that day but if you are only talking about a few days it would be worth $1750. I know several years ago my dealership called me a few weeks before my car was to arrive and offered me $500 additional discount if I would go ahead and purchase the car. He was trying to reach a sales goal. He said as long as they had the vin #, they could go ahead and finalize the deal and that BMW would still be responsible for any damages until delivery. Of course I would have to get this in writing. I will let you know what I find out

Great news guys, As I had originally thought, if you are already approved for BMW financing and the dealer locks you in, you will get both the $750 loyalty credit if you are a returning financial customer,the $1000 holiday credit and the $300 BMW app credit if you so desire even if you take delivery after January 2nd. Just make sure your dealer has you locked in. Now we can all rejoyce and not stress about is as much. Is anybody here going to put the extra cash into their car in the form of exhaust,tints,etc?
